Chemo Limo Lyrics
I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over Baby-sat all four of my kids Then in my dream I told the doctor off He said if you don't want to do it then you don't have to do it He said the truth is You'll be okay, anyway Then in my dream Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin and the doctor Went and had a talk with my boss Something about insurance policies They kept the door closed at all times I couldnt hear or see When they came out they said You'll be okay, anyway And I smiled cause I'd known it all the while. No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you I don't have to pay for this shit I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo and on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you I ain't about to to die like this I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo And besides this shit is making me tired it's making me tired it's making me tired You know I plan to retire some day, And I'm gonna go out in style go out in style This shit it's making me tired it's making me tired it's making me tired I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style When I woke up My kids were being quiet I knew it was a dream right away I called the limousine company Then I got dressed I dressed the kids as well The limousine pulled in And we piled in The doctor he asked which way we were headed I said, Sir, let's just go west and he listened obediently, Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBC Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me All about the meanies Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window And Barbara She looks just like my mom Oh my god, Barbara She looks so much like my mom No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you I don't have to pay for this shit I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo and on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you I ain't about to die like this I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo And besides this shit is making me tired it's making me tired it's making me die You know I plan to retire some day, and I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style This shit it's making me tired it's making me tired it's making me tired I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style Style Style Style?

I had a dream Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and Baby-sat all four of my kids I had a dream Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and Baby-sat all four of my kids Sophie only want to tune us into radio BBC Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me All about the meanie Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window And Barbara She looks just like my mom Oh my god, Barbara She looks so much like my mom Oh my god, Barbara She looks so much just like my mom... |

Anyway, the person dying would rather spend her last days having fun (riding limos) than spending money...I don't know, it's a cool song.

'Went and had a talk with my boss
Something about insurance policies
They kept the door closed at all times
I couldnt hear or see'
You ride in limo's for funnerals but she doesn't want that! She'd rather ride one in style and alive!
This song is very haunting in places!
Sophie only want to tune us into radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me
All about the meanie
Jacqueline was being such a big girl
with her cup of tea looking out of the window
And Barbara
She looks just like my mom
Oh my god, Barbara
She looks so much like my mom

.
I believe that "I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo" is the lyric from the CD book, the difference being an implecation of sarcasm.

I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and babysat all four of my kids
Then in my dream I told the doctor off he said "if you don't wanna do it
then you don't have to do it"
he said "the truth is you'll be ok anyway"
Then in my dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin and the doctor went and had a talk with my boss
something about insurance policies
they kept the door closed at all times
i couldn't hear or see
When they came out they said "you'll be ok anyway"
and I smiled cause I'd known it all the while
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to pay for this shit
I can afford chemo like i can afford a limo and on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to die like this
I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo
and besides this shit is making me tired it's making me tired it's making me tired
you know I planned to retire someday
but mama's gonna go out in style
go out in style
this shit is making me tired
it's making me tired, it's making me tired
mama gonna go out in style
When I woke up the kids were being quiet
i knew it was a dream right away I called the limousine company
then I got dressed
I dressed the kids as well
the limousine pulled in and we piled in
The doctor he asked which way we were headed
I said "sir let's just go west" and he listened obediently
Sophie only wanted to listen to radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window
and Barbara, she looks just like my mom
oh my Barbara she looks so much like my mom
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
i ain't about to pay for this shit
I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo
and any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
i ain't about to die like this
i can afford chemo like i can afford a limo
and besides this shit is making me tired
it's making me tired, it's making me tired
you know I plan to retire someday
but mama gonna go out in style
go out in style
this shit is making me tired
it's making me tired, it's making me tired
mama gonna go out in style
go out in style
Style
I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over
and babysat all four of my kids
I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over
and babysat all four of my kids
Sophie only wanted to listen to radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window
and Barbara, she looks just like my mom Oh my God, Barbara she looks so much like my mom
Oh my Barbara she looks so much just like my mom...

She decides that she'd rather go out in style than have the pain of chemo, and probably die anyway.
When they're in the limosine, she realises what she'll be missing, and it just hits her.
I think 'Crispy Benjamin Franklin' does refer to money, only that there's enough money to keep her kids well and safe? I'm not sure about that bit, just some musings.

You'll be okay, anyway
And I smiled cause I'd known it all along.
" are maybe about her still having hope of surviving, even without the chemo therapy.

They kept the door closed at all times
I couldnt hear or see
When they came out they said
You'll be okay, anyway
And I smiled cause I'd known it all along."
With this bit I always think that the woman in the song is sort of...wishful thinking - and the insurance policies is about her dying, and they all think she'll die but don't want to say it, but I could be wrong.
The bit about her kids is so sad. I think the bit with the limo is that she knows she's dying and wants to make the most of it, she wants to 'go out in style' basically.

"oh my god, barbara. she looks so much just like my mom"
she's looking at her children for what may be the last time, trying to see what they'll be like grown up, because she won't be there to watch them.
I love this song.
